The whole idea of enforcing technical mandates across the entire organisation is something I'm very sceptical about. No-one can hope to understand the constraints and requirements that 2500+ other devs are working under. Realistically the cross-team bandwidth is low, so if you don't have well versioned public APIs then you have barely understood interactions and no clear responsibility when they break.

There are probably some things do need to be standardised, but if there's a business need for standardisation then product teams should be able to understand and advocate for that (whether that means agreeing something with their directly adjacent product team, publishing something for clients to use, or something else). But in a lot of cases I think just accepting that different parts of the organization will work differently is the best way forward.
